I don't think it is accurate to say that half of women would make that choice. The damaging point of these behaviors is that people begin to assume this is normal when it is not. That is the real tragedy for Google.

I am pyscologist, I've consulted enough clients before reaching this conclusion.

If you go asking women, if they'll sleep with you for promotion. Answer will be a big NO.

Consider asking them who already faced this in real life, what did they choose?

I want companies to tackle these dynamics, so we've a much safer and fair playground for everyone.

It's very easy for people to say "no of course I would never do that" to a morally ambiguous situation when they're just discussing hypotheticals. When it comes to real life, and the other person is making a serious offer, and there's a good chance no one else will find out...I would expect the answers to be significantly different.

Isn't confidentiality a key part of your code of ethics? Why are you posting your clients guarded secrets on a public forum?

Confidentiality doesn't prevent broad generalities based on aggregated experience from being discussed.
